Definitions
- the invention relates to liquid crystalline compounds of formula I
- n 2, 3 or 4 and R 1 and R 2 each signify a group of formula
- a 1 and A 2 independently are an unsubstituted or mono- or polysubstituted 1,4-cyclohexylene group, wherein one or two non-adjacent CH groups may be replaced by -O- and/or -S-, or denote a 1,4-bicyclo[2,2,2]octylene group, or a
- 1,4-phenylene group which is unsubstituted or substituted by one or up to four F and/or one or two Cl atoms and/or CH 3 groups and/ or CN groups, wherein one or two CH groups may be replaced by N,
- k 1 to 6
- p 0, 1 or 2
- Liquid crystal phases are commonly exhibited by organic compounds having extended rod-like molecules, and are characterised in their liquid crystalline state by a degree of order intermediate between those of a crystalline solid and of an isoptropic liquid respectively.
- the wide-spread use of liquid crystalline materials in electro-optic devices arises from their combination of fluid-like flow with an anisotropy of their physical properties that is typical for a crystalline material.
- optimal performance can only be obtained when the physical properties of the material are adjusted to extreme or optimal values to suit the particular application and device geometry in use.
- Examples of the physical properties which may beneficially be changed to improve the utility of a liquid crystalline material for a particular application include such properties as the mesogenic phase range, the dielectric constants, the elastic constants, the viscosity coefficient, and the refractive indices of the material.
- the present invention provides a novel family of liquid crystal compounds which may be used by themselves or in admixture with other liquid crystal compounds classes to provide mixtures having advantageous combinations of liquid crystal properties, in particular low values of refractive indices and/or birefringence. It is well known that the performance of known optical and electro-optic devices can be improved by the reduction of the refractive indices or birefringence of the liquid crystalline material contained therein. For example, in the electrooptic dis play based upon the twisted nematic mode of operation, the off-state transmission of light only achieves its ideal value for discreet values of the parameter U where U is defined by the relation
- D is the thickness of the display cell
- ⁇ n is the birefringence of the liquid crystal
- ⁇ is the average wavelength of visible light and optimal performance in the display cell is obtained for values of U equal to ⁇ 3, ⁇ 15, etc.
- liquid crystal display cells containing dichroic-dyed liquid cystal materials and operating in the cholesteric to nematic phase-change mode otherwise known as the White-Taylor mode of operation the birefringence of the liquid crystalline host mixture leads to .the undesirable propagation of eliptically polarised light rays in the display cell which diminishes the optical efficiency of the display devices. It is therefore desirable when designing liquid crystal materials for use in this type of display, to adjust the birefringence of the liquid crystalline phase to the smallest practical value in order to obtain the best performance from the display.
- the liquid crystal material is used on an overlay on a planar optical waveguide, or as a cladding material on a fibre waveguide
- it is essential that at least one of the refractive indices of the liquid crystalline material used is lower in value than that of the waveguide material or else the structure will no longer sustain the propagation of light within the waveguide.
- the clarity of the "ON" state of the device depends upon the accurate matching of the ordinary refractive index of the LC material to the refractive index of the supporting polymer matrix.
- the ability to alter the absolute refractive indices of the liquid crystal therefore both facilitates the formulation of mixtures for use in this device, and offers the opportunity to utilise a wider range of supporting polymers than would otherwise be possible.
- PheF 4 is a tetrafluoro-1,4-phenylene group
- Cy is a 1,4-cyclohexylene group
- Dio is a 1,3-dioxane-2,5-diyl group
- Bi is a bicyclo[2,2,2]octylene-1,4-diyl group
- Phe is a 1,4-phenylene group
- Pym is pyrimidine-2
- Pyr is a pyridine-2, 5-diyl group, it being possible for Cy and/or Phe to be unsubstituted or substituted by one or up to four F and/or one or two Cl atoms and/or one or two CH 3 groups and/or one or two CN groups.
- the birefringence and refractive indices of organic compounds and in particular those of liquid crystalline compounds are dependent on the electronic polarisability of the constituent molecules.
- Liquid crystal compounds having a largely aromatic character are commonly characterised by large values of the refractive indices and the birefringence. It has now been found unexpectedly that the compounds of formula I uniquely combine a moderately large birefringence with low absolute values of the refractive indices and further uniquely provide liquid crystalline compounds with wide nematic phase ranges having an ordinary refractive index lower than that of a fused silica wave guide at ordinary temperatures and wavelengths.
- the compounds can therefore be used by themselves or in combination with other classes of liquid crystalline compounds to provide mixtures in which the physical properties, particularly the refractive indices are optimised for electro-optic device applications.
- the compounds of formula I can be used as components of liquid crystalline mixtures in particular for displays based on the twisted nematic and super twisted nematic cell, the effect of deformation of aligned phases or the NCAP effect, and for optical switching devices using a liquid crystal overlayer on a waveguiding substrate.
- the invention was based on the object of discovering new stable partially fluorinated materials which are suitable as components of conventional liquid crystalline mixtures.
- Liquid crystals derived from 4,4'-disubstituted octafluorobiphenyl are also known (D. Demus et al.; Fl ⁇ ssige Kristalle in Tabellen, VEB Deutscher Verlag f ⁇ r Grund- stoffindustrie, Leipzig 1974 (Vol I) and 1984 (Vol II)), but the known materials are derivatives of Schiff bases which suffer from photochemical, hydrolytic and oxidative instability rendering them unsuitable for use in electro- optic devices. Further these compounds of the prior art show their liquid crystalline phase behaviour at very high temperature, which also makes them unsuitable for device applications.
- the compounds of formula I provide liquid crystalline compounds having their liquid crystalline phase ranges at conveniently low temperature and the standard mixing techniques known to those skilled in the art may be applied to formulate mixtures which are liquid crystalline in the room temperature region and below.
- the compounds of the formula I have a wide range of application. Depending on the choice of the substituents, these compounds can be used as the base materials from which liquid crystalline mixtures are composed up to 50 % of the total constitutents; however, it is also possible for compounds of the formula I to be added to liquid crystalline base materials of other classes of compounds, in order to influence the optical anisotropy of such a dielectric.
- the compounds of the formula I are colourless in the pure state. They are vary stable towards chemicals, heat and light.
- the invention thus relates to liquid crystalline compounds of formula I.
